I love it! This song is definitely about religion, probably christianity.
"Do you think that you’re not alone?
You really think that you are immune to
Its gonna get that the best of you
Its gonna lift you up and let you down
It will defeat you then teach you to get back up
After it takes all that
You learn to love"
The song is saying if you believe god is there and you are not alone, you better hope you're right. you better hope you're not alone. The weight of religion will defeat you, then teach you to get back up... but you don't always have to raise your religious knowledge over the instincts of the human heart. Follow your heart, not what people force into your mind. Religion is a ghost waiting to bring you down.
This line is so true... in dealing with christianity:
"It will teach to love what you're afraid of
After it takes away all that you've learned to love."
@CadillacKincaid Jack Johnson never really had a stance for or against religion/religious ideals. Your theory seems backed mainly by your sole opinion. And "Religion just drains peoples minds" seems absurb, especially since we have Thomas Aquinas (early European philosopher/monk) and Father Georges Lemaître, who made the Big Bang Theory.
